Abstract: Power conversion apparatus includes a circuit board with power conversion circuitry and a
package. The package includes an upper portion that encloses circuitry on a top surface of the
circuit board and a lower portion that encloses circuitry on a bottom surface of the circuit board.
The lower portion encloses a region on the circuit board that is smaller than the region enclosed
by the upper portion and is arranged to define an overhang region on the bottom surface of the
circuit board. The overhang region preferably extends along two or more sides of the periphery
of the bottom surface. Interface contacts are provided on the bottom surface in the overhang
region for making electrical connections to the circuit board. The power conversion apparatus
may be mounted in an aperture in an external circuit board or may be mounted horizontally or
vertically to the external board using an interconnect extender. Heat sinks located on the
external circuit board or on the interconnect extender may be thermally coupled to the power
converter. 
     The package may be formed by encapsulating areas of the circuit board assembly either
before or after the interface contacts are attached to the circuit board. A method for
encapsulating two sides of a substrate includes providing a mold that fills a larger first cavity to
create a sealing force on a smaller second cavity. The encapsulant flows through the first cavity
into the second cavity. 
     A thermal extender includes a surface for mounting a heat dissipating power converter
and a surface for mating with an external circuit board. Interface conductors mate with contacts
on the heat dissipating power converter and with conductive regions on the external circuit
board. A heat sink is thermally coupled to remove heat generated by the power converter. The
heat sink may be molded or include an extension of a thermally conductive layer extending from
the converter mounting area. The thermal extender may include an aperture for accepting a
lower portion of the heat dissipating power converter.

Abstract: A system comprising a counter adapted to monitor the memory
consumption of the allocated memory resources. Upon reaching or
surpassing the memory resource threshold provided, the counter
may indicate the need for garbage collection. The garbage
collector assesses the memory and releases memory resources that
are consumed by the programs but are not needed anymore. The
recycled memory resources are thus provided to the programs and
the counter is updated accordingly. In addition, the system may
also include instructions requesting memory resources. After
detecting such instructions, the memory usage counter is updated
either by the exact amount of memory allocated or the estimated
amount of memory allocated. The counter may be implemented in
hardware or in software.
